Virginia city official brings AR-15-style rifle to council meeting – triggering some colleagues
Wait for it...A city official in Virginia showed support for the Second Amendment earlier this week by bringing an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle to a city council meeting.
The move by Portsmouth Councilman Nathan Clark came as the council was to consider making the city a "Second Amendment Constitutional City†– placing it in symbolic opposition to gun-control efforts underway in the newly Democrat-controlled state Assembly.
The proposal, debated before a capacity audience in the council chambers, passed 4-3, according to the Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk.
Clark’s gesture also came as the state prepares for a controversial gun-rights rally scheduled for Monday in Richmond, the state capital.
But he apparently angered at least two members of the council in Portsmouth, an Atlantic coast city about 97 miles from Richmond.The council critics said Clark should have told them in advance that he planned to bring the weapon – and one of them asked Clark to apologize for not doing so.
"It was a disgrace, disheartening and an embarrassment,†Vice Mayor Lisa Lucas-Burke wrote to the council Thursday, according to the newspaper. "Most of us were blindsided by the display.†Lucas-Burke was among three council members who voted against the "Constitutional City†designation. The others were Councilman Shannon Glover and Mayor John Rowe. Glover had complained of being blindsided by Clark's gesture, the report said.
[...]
Clark himself did not respond to the newspaper’s request for a comment. But the paper reported that Clark had issued a press release announcing his plan to bring the weapon to the meeting. [Emphasis added]

Actually what they are mad about is that it worked. Showing this type of weapon, and showing how it is nothing but a tool, destroyed their demonization of it.
I like it; now they can have a sergeant-at-arms who is actually AT ARMS!

It seems to me that a rational being who was so helpless as to fall prey to such problems would focus less on controlling the actions of others, and would try to find a way to gain the ability to command his own damned mind - to develop the mental and emotional strength to make it impossible for others to "trigger" him.
